Gotta be honest, it doesn't feel like much of an apology when you just outright ignore the entire purpose of my comment in replying to a question that you asked.

You can disagree with my thoughts, that's perfectly fine. I don't mind at all if people don't agree with me. But you asked a specific question for diving into the ethics of it, and I gave my answer to it. And your response just completely sidesteps that entirely.

Why did you ask the question if you had no interest in the answer?
